That's a new one to me. Can you give me examples of modules? Because CPAN::Reporter captures output by piping to tee, I could imagine that some modules might do odd things if they are looking for a terminal on STDOUT. The latest CPAN::Reporters use Devel::Autoflush to solve a different problem -- apparent lack of prompting in PL files which don't set autoflush before prompting without a newline. It looks like it just hangs. David
